3 Introduction Various network measures Graph-theoretical analysis leads to useful insights for many complex systems, such as World-Wide Web social network of jazz musicians metabolic networks protein-protein interaction networks Examples of useful network measures for such analyses degree based, e.g. maximum/minimum/average degree, degree distribution, connectivity based, e.g. clustering coefficient, largest cliques or densest sub-graphs, geodesic based, e.g. diameter, betweenness centrality, other more complex measures Bhaskar DasGupta (UIC) Expansions and Cuts in hyperbolic graphs March 28, / 29
4 Introduction Gromov-hyperbolicity as a network measure network measure for this talk Gromov-hyperbolicity measure δ originally proposed by Gromov in 1987 in the context of group theory observed that many results concerning the fundamental group of a Riemann surface hold true in a more general context defined for infinite continuous metric space via properties of geodesics can be related to standard scalar curvature of Hyperbolic manifold adopted to finite graphs using a 4-node condition or equivalently using thin triangles Bhaskar DasGupta (UIC) Expansions and Cuts in hyperbolic graphs March 28, / 29
5 Basic definitions and notations Hyperbolicity of real-world networks Are there real-world networks that are hyperbolic? Yes, for example: Preferential attachment networks were shown to be scaled hyperbolic [Jonckheere and Lohsoonthorn, 2004; Jonckheere, Lohsoonthorn and Bonahon, 2007] Networks of high power transceivers in a wireless sensor network were empirically observed to have a tendency to be hyperbolic [Ariaei, Lou, Jonckeere, Krishnamachari and Zuniga, 2008] Communication networks at the IP layer and at other levels were empirically observed to be hyperbolic [Narayan and Saniee, 2011] Extreme congestion at a very limited number of nodes in a very large traffic network was shown to be caused due to hyperbolicity of the network together with minimum length routing [Jonckheerea, Loua, Bonahona and Baryshnikova, 2011] Topology of Internet can be effectively mapped to a hyperbolic space [Bogun, Papadopoulos and Krioukov, 2010] Bhaskar DasGupta (UIC) Expansions and Cuts in hyperbolic graphs March 28, / 29
6 Motivation Effect of δ on expansion and cut-size Standard practice to investigate/categorize computational complexities of combinatorial problems in terms of ranges of topological measures: Bounded-degree graphs are known to admit improved approximation as opposed to their arbitrary-degree counter-parts for many graph-theoretic problems. Claw-free graphs are known to admit improved approximation as opposed to general graphs for graph-theoretic problems such as the maximum independent set problem.

7 Motivation Effect of δ on expansion and cut-size Standard practice to investigate/categorize computational complexities of combinatorial problems in terms of ranges of topological measures: Bounded-degree graphs are known to admit improved approximation as opposed to their arbitrary-degree counter-parts for many graph-theoretic problems. Claw-free graphs are known to admit improved approximation as opposed to general graphs for graph-theoretic problems such as the maximum independent set problem. Motivation for this paper: Effect of δ on expansion and cut-size What is the effect of δ on expansion and cut-size bounds on graphs? For what asymptotic ranges of values of δ can these bounds be used to obtain improved approximation algorithms for related combinatorial problems?

Obvious recursive approach encounters a hurdle since hyperbolicity is not a hereditary property, i.e., removal of nodes or edges may change δ sharply Can our bounds on expansions and cut-sizes be used to get an improved approximation for the minimum multicut problem for δ δ=o(logn) =?
